Given that 8 years ago Romney was pro-choice, pro-gay and anti-gun, I'm not real clear on what his true convictions are. Historically, he's very socially liberal--only "evolving" into a social conservative in an attempt to get elected as conservative.

Regardless, Romney is not evil, seems to care about people even if he can't relate to them, and the Yay-hoo from Yahoo needed to be relieved of his job as a journalist for being biased.

I've been using a new account at Yahoo the past few months and noted a strong liberal bias. I didn't need an open mic at the convention to know what side Yahoo supports. So they got caught and fired a bureau chief who was just voicing the company line, so what? Think anything will change because of it? The media is in the bag.

In a way, I'm glad this happened because it demonstrates the bias......but in another way, I regret that it happened this early in the election, because now the media will make the extra effort to conceal their bias (it'll still be obvious, just more thinly veiled).

I'm still not happy about the moderators chosen for the presidential and vice presidential debates! These people are going to come at Romney/Ryan from the left (including Ft. Worth, Texas' own Bob Schieffer, who wouldn't know objectivity if it bit him in his wrinkly old rear end).

You do all realize Momonism's history with people of color, right? The whole "Seed of Cain" bullshit and the Lamanites? How they are cursed by the Devil and that the "negro are not equal with other races" and other glorious teachings? If not, go read up. Many of the racist commenters of this blog will probably sign up with the LDS in a heartbeat. ;)

So, yeah, that guy with the hot mic was just giving a reasonable opinion.

Renault: I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in this establishment.Employee of Rick's: [hands Renault money] Your winnings, sir.Renault: Oh, thank you, very much. Everybody out at once!

Same ol' media, different day! Now why can't we discuss relevant issues again?

If one single black person ever drowns in another NOLA hurricane post Katrina... well I'd have to say it was George Bush's fault. I give Obama and Romney a pass, we all know Bush created Katrina, and probably Isaac. I mean, hurricanes weren't really a problem there before Bush. I wonder when Yahoo and MSNBC and CNN will stoop to that level!

Your assertion that this commentator was giving a "reasonable opinion" is without merit and outright stupid.

By your standard, I could say that because someone is a Christian, that mean it would be reasonable to believe they want all non-Christians to convert ordie...in the name of God.

I point this out because, "Christians" killed hundreds of thousands of non-Christian, in the name of God, during the cruisades.

So, before you get all high an mighty because you read a wikipedia page on Mormonism and learned some of their professed history, you might want to consider that Mormons are the only religion that has discriminated or killed in the name of their God.

Just got off of Yahoo, nothing on this story, just some BS story about a black CNN camera person claiming that the people at the RNC threw nuts at her and said this is how we feed animals. Story sounds a little contrived if you ask me.

I am a senior citizen Democrat, but outraged at that comment. The Romneys are good decent people. Such a comment is disgusting. All of this back and forth bickering whether it be press related or political is hurtful to the image of America. Mature people WORK together and GET ALONG.

This all needs to stop. We can start by having civil political conversations and act like mature adults.

If blacks spent less time being racist and more time trying to better themselves as a Republican or Conservative black does then maybe they would get somewhere in life other than sucking on government boobies.

Most agree welfare folks should get down to work. But some can't or won't. OK should we cut them all off? What about their innocent children or parents that depend on them? Is your church going to take care of them? Should government take the dependants away? Just how draconian should we get? Should we sterilize unmarried mothers? Jail the deadbeats? C'mon - let's hear your solutions?

Sorry but education is a long term investment. What do you do with dependant of those being educated? What about the stupid or lazy? The little kids and old parents are penalized while the subject is educated? How about thoughtful solutions not Republican sound bites.
